Should the government increase funding for mental health research and treatment?

The government should not be involved in funding anything because it has the power to corrupt whatever it is put in charge over.

Yes, but they should also provide private companies with strong incentives to do so, since many large companies have more resources that could be spared for it than the federal government does.

Yes, but funding should be diverted from. the failed war on drugs.

More than funding the issue with mental health care is that the people most in need of it can not function within society yet the system is designed by and for normal functional people being structured much like any other aspect of the medical industry in the persuit of profit. It requires reform and restucturing and a temple grandin like approach that considers the perspectives and state of the people it's meant to treat to facilitate their navigation through the system. This however must be balanced against respecting individual rights and not violating personal sovereignty which is the primary issue in helping those who can not help themselves or may not even want help.

Yes, the human mind and soul are very important, and rigorous study to reveal the causes of personal shortcomings will allow the populace to improve their life situation

The current mental health community is probably guilty of causing more mental health issues, is definitely guilty of experimenting on children, and needs to be completely defunded.

No, it'd be nice if the government did contribute, but the government shouldn't be forced to contribute

Yes, but only if it does not take away from other important funding.

Yes because the things they support like being transgender is a form of poor mental health.

If you want more mental health disorders, increase government funding for their treatments.

Privatize the mental healthcare system and let the free market prevail with the best providers succeeding

Yes, but only by moving money away from the failed war on drugs

No, pharmaceutical companies are some of the richest in the world. This funding should instead be invested into a single payer system and universities.

The only research government should fund is maybe basic research.

Yes, but without raising taxes.

Yes but not by that much and only for research

Yes, and de-privatize the mental health industry.

Yes, and place priority to treat active military and veterans.

State regulation

Yes, as long as those funds are given to an organization this is held responsible by the voters, and not to a private company

Yes and make sure Trump gets some, for the love of god.

No change needed.

Mental health is not something the government should be involved in. Everyone is different, we can't treat them like they're all the same

Yes. By 1000%. We need far more mental health services and this should be one of our number 1 priorities.

No, the mentally ill should be imprisoned instead.

The government has no role in health care; it is strictly a matter between the patient and his/her health care provider. All laws/regulations concerning health care should be repealed.

Healthcare is healthcare, regardless of mental or physical and should all be paid for by insurance, or better yet, a one-payer system.

Yes, but the funding MUST go to private sector, NOT to typical inefficient and wasteful government run programs.

No, private companies should seek funding or charitable organizations should focus their money as they see fit.

Yes but not at taxpayers expense

Yes and No, incentivize private companies to address this issue instead our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services but only increase funding for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies
